even when beat up and dirty ..... there is just something about our cars, I LIKE ALOT. Like the wheels

MichaelsRT

Thanks for the well wishes. I have a slight course of action for this clean up process, but if anyone here has suggestions or links to throw in my direction, I am always greatful to see them. I will post pics and things change.

MichaelsRT

Putting new wheels on car tomorrow, and dropping off for paint on Monday. By next Monday...this will be a completely different car. Suspension is in mail with Aristo tails.

I will post pics as it all comes together.

MichaelsRT

These will go on after the paint job is done. At least until my Stealth gets home. Then I get to decide what rims go on what car. lol

Either way...black on black lowered with tint will look nice on this thing.

Good Start Keep it up!

MichaelsRT

ok so just got the car home from paint. Came out pretty good. Next up, new KYB struts and Tanabe springs. Aristo tails. Not sure if I am going to keep the G35 coupe wheels that are on it now, on the car or swap to my Rotas...or something else. I dont know yet. I know the tires are too low a profile that are on it currently so I will have to do SOMETHING about that eventually.

Here are pics. Note, I havent cleaned anything yet. I just picked up the car and drove home. This week coming up I will be off work to clean her up some, and work out the other details. More pics coming soon

And just to post ***** a little bit more (so I can get rid of this huge stupid newbie box on top of my forum page one day lol)

My future plans outside of the parts I already have purchased from a seller on this forum include:

1. Wheel decision.
2. Maybe Aristo trunk deck spoiler
3. window tint
4. new front seats (either clean used or reupholster)
5. New brakes
6. MAYBE MAYBE turbo. Think abou tit constantly, but not sure I want to go there with every car I own lol

Welcome! The stealth looks beastly.

MichaelsRT

Thanks Fuzzzzzzzzzzzz! lol

And the more I look at this car, and the more I read club NA-T and research what is out there for this powerplant...
the more I realize I am more than likely gonna boost this thing.

MichaelsRT

Rain rain go away!

I am off work Tuesday and I intend to be installing the new suspension and tails...and well as cleaning her up a bit...

Pics will follow suit from there.

MichaelsRT

Tails swapped...ran out of light before I could drop it and swap out struts, so I am doing that this coming weekend. Been working a bunch of OT.

Welcome aboard!! Nice to see a fellow 3SI owner getting into the Lexus scene. I went the opposite way, Lexus owner who got into the 3SI scene, helped a buddy out and bought his 3000GT SL (not the bad boy VR4 sadly), but at least she's a 5speed and she's still fun to drive and get a lot of looks surprisingly!! Nice job on the Stealth, and can't wait to see what you have in store for the GS.

MichaelsRT

Thanks for the well wishes. I am also a 3SI member, but I do not go there often. Never really liked that forum. I am MUCH more active on Norcal3S and SoCal3S.

I also have a SL model sitting out front. It is also a TT though lol.

As for plans, gonna wrap up the maintenance and clean it up a little more...then I am 90% sure I will single turbo this as well.

Just too easy to do to not do it. It costs 1/4 what it cost me to boost my 3000GT, with more reliability...SOLD!

MichaelsRT

As she sits right now!!

Just ordered drilled and slotted rotors and new pads all the way around as well. The previous owner neglected the brakes pretty bad. The rears were so worn I would call it borderline dangerous. Literally looks like the rear discs had never been changed. Just kept swapping out pads forever. So...went ahead and replaced all that. Will post pics when its swapped.
